Evoking images from the liquid metal and nearly unstoppable Terminator from the movies, BAE Systems has posted concept video footage of a process to create drones of the future.近日,BAE系统公司公布的一份概念视频展出了未来生产无人机的过程。在视频里,无人机从液态金属里“宽”了出来,看上去就像从电影里走进的无人挡住的终结者一样。A radical new machine called a Chemputer could enable advanced chemical processes to grow aircraft and some of their complex electronic systems, conceivably from a molecular level upwards, reads the description on the companys website.该公司的官网上的讲解是这样说道的:“有一款称作Chemputer的全新机器,通过用于这款机器,可以用先进设备的化学方法来栽培飞机和其他一切简单的电子系统,所有生产出来的机械都是由物质分子包含,是十分可信、令人信服的。
”The video shows a drone being produced in a large vat of chemicals and then moved to a staging area where a robotic arm inserts what are, presumably, the drones engine components. Sure this is just a concept, but BAE Systems has a track record of turning concepts into reality, so this isnt just another concept video promising unlikely inventions.在这家公司公布的这份视频里,一个极大的化学培养皿里长出来了一架无人机,随后这个培养皿被移动到了另外一个地方,在这里,一条机械手臂给无人机加装了发动机部件。当然这只是一个概念,但是BAE系统公司曾多次把概念变为过现实,因此这并不仅仅只是一个不有可能构建的发明者的概念视频而已。We have been developing routes to digitize synthetic and materials chemistry and at some point in the future hope to assemble complex objects in a machine from the bottom up, or with minimal human assistance, said professor Nick Colosimo, a BAE Systems global engineering fellow in a statement on the companys website. Creating small aircraft would be very challenging but Im confident that creative thinking and convergent digital technologies will eventually lead to the digital programming of complex chemical and material systems.BAE系统公司全球工程研究员尼克·科洛西莫在该公司网站上的一份声明中说:“我们仍然在研究如何把电子化和制备化学材料化学结合,从而在未来某个时间点需要在机器中自律分解一些复杂事物,或者仅有必须很少的人类干预。
生产小飞机不会很有挑战性,但是我有信心,创这种创意思维和电子技术不会最后造成简单的化学物质系统的自动编程和构成。”The next obvious step would be humanoid robots produced by the chemputer, and then science fiction will have officially predicted reality — again.很似乎,“Chemputer”的下一步将是生产建模机器人,到那时,科幻小说中的情节就将再行一次被变为现实。
